In this collection a group of political scientists, literary critics, social historians and writers reassess "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and other parts of Orwell's oeuvre. Bernard Crick's "Orwell and English Socialism" serves as an introduction to the various threads followed up in these essays - Orwell's evolving political ideas, his devotion to good writing, and the final concentration of his thought into the savage satire of "Nineteen Eighty-Four".

The Great War of Words: Literature as Propaganda 1914-18 and After

Chrysalis Books

In September 1914, twenty-five of Britain’s most distinguished authors met with the war propaganda bureau to discuss how they could defend civilization against the savagery of the invading “Huns”. In The Great War of Words Peter Buitenhuis tells the hitherto unknown story of the secret collaboration between the government and leading writers of the time, including H.G. Wells, John Buchan and John Galsworthy. The book also chronicles their disillusionment with the Allied propaganda machine after the war – and how this changed the course of literary history in the 20th century.

There has been almost no study of the American writings of Henry James, that is, the fiction, essays, and travel literature with an American setting. The great bulk of Jamesian criticism deals with the international novels, particularly his late works.This study places James’s career in a new perspective by discussing its American aspect. It gives the critic an opportunity to come to grips with the evolution of James’s technique from his second short story to his penultimate, unfinished novel, The Ivory Tower.
